Activity – 2
Take a graph sheet and mark O, A, B, C as follows.
In the square OABC,
OA = AB = BC = OC = 1unit
Consider right angled DOAC
AC = √[12 +12]
= √2 unit [By Pythagoras theorem]
The length of the diagonal (hypotenuse)
AC = √2 , which is a surd.
Consider the following graphs:
Let us try to find the length of AC in two different ways :
AC = AD +DE +EC
(diagonals of units squares)
= √2+√2+√2
AC = 3√2 units
AC = √[OA2 +OC2] = √[32 +32]
= √[9 + 9 ]
AC = √18 units
Are they equal? Discuss. Can you verify the same by taking different squares of different lengths?
